Sponsorship advertisement placement

We've been discussing online the possibility of raising the profile of sponsors by advertising their sponsorship in places as prominent as the homepages of plone.org or plone.com.Érico suggested we find a way to achieve representation for regional sponsors without expense of full, premium sponsorshipPaul suggested that provider listings be projected on to map — could be very useful.Steve suggested we ask .org/.com teams to work on tasteful mechanisms for homepage display of major sponsor logos; ask .com team to put in queue work on map representation of providers and fair ways of presenting regional results. Board will work on a regional fairness scheme for sponsorship advertising.
